"Big brother, how can you be sure that they aren't merchants?" Si Kongyao was confused.
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "It's simple. Firstly, it hasn't snowed in the Red Rock Province for three days, so how could their fire sticks be wet? Secondly, this is a barren mountain, so it's impossible to transport goods. As merchants, they can't possibly walk a few hundred miles without taking the official road. Thirdly, they don't even have horses, so how are they going to transport goods? They can't possibly be merchants. Fourthly, there's a smell on their bodies. I can sense it with my Spiritual Pulse Technique, a very disgusting smell."
"What is that smell?"
"The foul smell of the fox clan … …" Lin Muyu grinned.
Si Kongyao pouted, "What the hell!"
At this moment, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi also came out of the tent. Tang Xiaoxi asked, "Mu, do you need me to help?"
"No need, it's just a few demon spirits."
Lin Muyu stood up and placed her hand on the sword on her waist. She casually walked over with a few Royal Guards. Under the light of the bonfire, there were a total of three people. They were all 'merchants' with fierce gazes. The one leading them was a man with a moustache. He walked forward and said in a rather standard manner, "We are lost merchants. We can't light a fire at night, so we would like to borrow your fire. Please … … don't reject us."
"Oh, go get your own fire." Lin Muyu pointed at the bonfire behind her.
"Thank you!"
The three of them quickly walked towards the bonfire. However, their gazes fell on the tents and the horses tied to the trees. They instantly revealed greedy expressions and walked faster and faster. The man with a moustache at the front suddenly roared. Fur appeared on his palms and sharp claws extended from his fingertips. He angrily roared and charged at Si Kongyao. He probably felt that this gentle girl was easy to bully.
However, Si Kongyao wasn't gentle at all. The sword on her waist turned into a cold light and shot out.
"Peng!"
The small mustache man was forced to retreat again and again. His body suddenly expanded, turning into the appearance of a male demon fox, while the other two attacked Lin Muyu together. The cold light of their sharp claws was very frightening.
Lin Muyu's speed was even faster. The sword light suddenly jumped up, and with two "kacha kacha" sounds, the two arms had already fallen to the ground. The Xuan-Yuan Sword is so sharp that the demon spirits in the Mortal Realm can't resist it at all!
The two Demon Foxes let out hissing sounds at the same time. Their gazes were fierce. After being injured, they seemed to have become even more violent.
Lin Muyu didn't want to waste any more time. She suddenly opened her palm and a mighty force flowed in the air. The moment the starlight burst out, the two demon spirits were instantly evaporated, turning into dust that fell on the snowy ground. The power of the ninth style of the Star Scripture was indeed extraordinary!
At this time, Si Kongyao had already stepped on the neck of the 'small mustache man', pinning him to the ground. She raised her sword and was ready to stab him in the heart.
"Yao, wait!"
"Ah?" Si Kongyao was stunned.
"Don't kill him first."
Lin Muyu walked forward and stabbed the Xuan-Yuan Sword into the soil beside the small mustache man. She asked, "Who are you? Aren't the Demon Spirit Clan in the Forest of No Return? Why did you come to the Red Rock Province? "
"I … I …" His whole body trembled. Seeing the tragic death of his two companions, he was already scared out of his wits. He said with a trembling voice, "I was originally one of the Demon Lords in the Forest of No Return, but … but a month ago, after the Demon Spirit Clan's internal strife, I was stranded in the Red Rock Province's forest. Please spare my life!"
"Internal strife?"
Lin Muyu frowned, "Back then, the Demon Emperor of the Forest of No Return, Nüshi made three rules with us. From now on, the Demon Spirit Clan won't harm humans. You violated the rules. Aren't you afraid that Nüshi will kill you?"
"No, the Demon Emperor won't punish me." He shook his head and said, "A month ago, the Demon Emperor was no longer Nüshi, but Suiren."
"Who's Suiren?"
"One of the Four Great Demon Kings, the current Demon Emperor. The Qin State invaded the Celestial Pole Continent and caused great chaos, but Nüshi asked us to live in the Forest of No Return. Thus, the Four Great Demon Kings couldn't stand it and weren't willing to let go of this heaven-sent opportunity, so they strongly advised Nüshi against it. They didn't expect Nüshi to oppose it, so … Suiren joined forces with the other three Demon Kings and launched an internal strife, pushing Nüshi down from the throne and replacing her as the Demon Emperor. This way, he could cooperate with the people of the Celestial Empire."
"Damn it!"
Lin Muyu was infuriated and asked, "Where is Nü Shi now?"
"Exiled …"
"Exiled? Impossible. If Nüshi was exiled, she would definitely come to find me. "
The Demon Lord laughed bitterly, "Indeed, she hasn't been exiled, but placed under house arrest in the Demon Spirit Sacred Altar in the Forest of No Return. Nüshi's reputation is too high, so Demon Emperor Suiren doesn't dare to kill her and can only place her under house arrest."
"Then, which side are you on? Are you loyal to Nüshi or Suiren? "
"I … I'm one of the hundred Demon Lords conferred by Demon Emperor Suiren. Young hero, let me go. As long as you let me go, I'm willing to give you all my wealth and let you enjoy endless glory and wealth."
"There's no need. Did Suiren send you to Hongyan Province?"
"Yes, Demon Emperor Suiren ordered us to enter Hongyan Province and inquire about the situation there."
"Originally, I planned to let you take me to save Demon Emperor Nüshi, but now, it seems that there's no need. Just go."
"Young hero, what do you mean? Do you know Her Majesty Nüshi? Who are you … What do you want to do? Did I say something wrong? Young hero, why do you want to kill me … "
"You can ask your blockhead about these questions after you leave!"
With a flash of sword light, the Demon Venerable's head rolled onto the snowy ground. The three Demon Venerables had all died here.
… …
Lin Muyu shook her arm lightly, dispelling the blood on her blade. She walked to the side of the tent and said, "Xiao Yin, I'm afraid we can't return to Hongyan City directly. We have to go to the Forest of No Return and save Demon Emperor Nüshi. Otherwise … the Demon Spirit Clan will definitely become the pawns of the Celestial Empire. When that happens, it'll be even more disadvantageous for us."
"Mm, the three just now, were they all Demon Lords?"
"Yes." Lin Muyu sighed, "After Tian Fa, the power of the Demon Spirit Clan has been greatly weakened. These Demon Lords were originally very strong, but now they can't even withstand a single blow. I think it's because their power has been weakened that Nüshi was placed under house arrest. Otherwise, with her strength, who would be able to put her under house arrest?"
Si Kongyao said, "This place is only slightly more than two hundred miles away from the Forest of No Return and about four hundred miles away from the Demon Spirit Clan's Sacred Altar. If we go at full speed, we should be able to arrive in a day. Do we need to travel at night?"
"No need."
Lin Muyu looked behind her and said, "Wei Chou, tomorrow at dawn, you will return to Red Rock City with the Imperial Guards to guard the city. I, Xiao Yin, Xiao Xi, and Yao will go to the Forest of No Return. It's not good to have too many people. After all, it's the Demon Spirit Clan's territory."
"When do you plan to leave, Milord?"
"We will rest for two hours and set off at night. I will summon Akatosaurus. Akatosaurus is enough to carry four people to the Forest of No Return. We will arrive in an hour and find Nüshi before dawn."
"Alright, please be careful."
"Mm."
…
After resting for a while, Lin Muyu and the others were ready to set off. After summoning Akatosaurus, only Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Si Kongyao needed to fly with Akatosaurus. Tang Xiaoxi could just fly with them.
In the night sky, the land was pitch-black. There was not a single ray of light in the forest and wilderness.
With Akatosaurus's flying speed, the distance of five hundred miles was covered in less than an hour. Lin Muyu and the others almost froze into ice lumps. It was too cold in the middle of the night.
After flying into the Forest of No Return, it was still snowing. Although the snow was not heavy, it became a natural protective barrier.
Looking down at the ground, Qin Yin opened her Eyes of Blazing Light and saw stars in the forest. Those were the light condensed by the Demon Spirit Race's original spiritual power. Demon Emperor Nüshi's power must have been sealed. How to find her would depend on Qin Yin's Eyes of Blazing Light.
"The headquarters is over there." Si Kongyao pointed into the distance.
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "If we descend from the sky, it will definitely cause chaos. The Demon Spirit Race has tens of thousands of members. We can't use force. We can only land far away and walk over. Is there anything we can hide?"
Si Kongyao giggled and said, "That's simple. Brother, pretend to be a Demon Venerable and stick a hair on your cheek. Then, tie the three of us up with a rope and say that we are the spoils of war you brought back. We will give it to that Demon Emperor Suiren first. When we see Suiren, subdue him and order him to take us to see Nüshi. This way, we can achieve our goal of saving people."
"Good plan …"
Lin Muyu smiled and immediately patted Akatosaurus's head and said, "Fly over there and land."
… …
In the curtain of snow, the four of them landed. Lin Muyu looked for ropes in his Universe Bag. In the end, he only found some ropes that could be used as horse reins. He could only use this as a rope. He quickly tied the three girls' hands. When he tied Tang Xiaoxi's hands, Tang Xiaoxi's face turned red and she asked, "Are we still going to play with this in the future?"
Lin Muyu's face also turned red and said, "This … We'll talk about it when we get back …"
Si Kongyao's face was blank, but Qin Yin was not surprised at all.
Not long after, Lin Muyu led the three beauties down the hill. At the bottom of the hill was the headquarters' plaza. There were piles of bonfires, and there were guards and some high-level Demon Spirits standing guard.
"Stop!"
As expected, the moment they entered the plaza, they were stopped by a guard. "Who are you?!"
I can't lose in terms of momentum!
Lin Muyu opened her mouth and scolded, "M, are you stupid? You don't even recognize me? One of the hundred Demon Venerables personally conferred by Demon King Suiren, are you an idiot!? "
"You …" The guard that looked like a bear was startled and hurriedly knelt down and said, "This lowly one greets Demon Venerables. I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, please forgive me."
"Forget it, I won't argue with you." Lin Muyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Suiren conferred a hundred Demon Venerables. She knew that these little pawns wouldn't be able to recognize all of them. There were so many Demon Venerables, who could recognize all of them!
"Get up, it's fine now. Take me to see Demon King Suiren. I brought back three human beauties to present to Demon King Suiren."
"Oh, Lord, please come this way."
This was too easy. The Demon Spirit Race's guard was so lax. Putting aside the fact that the night patrol didn't have a password, the Demon Thearch could also be seen as he wished. It was no wonder that Nü Shi's power was seized by a mutiny. When I return, I must lecture her properly and teach her a set of human leadership skills.
